i got baptised yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was sooooo amazing. i was soooo nervous at the start of the ceremony, i was sitting there in the pew, shaking, but then it was my turn, and i got into the water, it was FREEZING, but that's kinda alright, cos it was really hot yesterday. then i got baptised, and the robe was so heavy, cos it was made out of towel-ly material. and i staggered down the stairs, luckily there were mums to help you up and walk and stuff so you don't trip or fall. then i got changed and went back to the ceremony and stuff. and after that, my mum gave me flowers and heaps of other people gave me lots of presents. THANK YOU!!!! and Hedda was like, oh wow, it's like getting married, you get so many presents!!! i'm definately getting married!! we all had a good laugh at that....lol....and when i was getting changed, som girls were saying how hot Brian was when he came out of the water and how hot he and his brother his....lol....i grew up with him, so i don't really feel the attraction, i mean, i can see it, just not feel it. i guess it's different for them though, being younger than we are and stuff....and anyways, so many came!!! like, charlie came, and yoke ching, and tiong tjin and andrew and tom and i forget who else, but heaps of them came!!!! so we took heaps of photos and oh, Joanne came too!!!! i haven't seen her for ages!!!!!!and then it was the whole sharing/testamony thingy time, and we worshipped first and then the sharing/testamony was like a voluntary thing. i didn't want to share my testamony, but my counsin Joshua, he was standing behind me, and he was like, hey, everybody's gone, except you, you should go and he kept on telling me to go, and so i did, and i didn't even know what i was gonna say. i thought i was gonna say what God's mercy and grace means to me, but i opened my mouth, and some other stuff came out instead! worse still, i started to cry, and i didn't even know what i was saying. i sort of registered that i was still talking, and the words that came out made sense, but i can't remember any of it. i don't think that it was related to what i wrote in my testamony though. according to vivian, i was saying that Jesus died for all of us, and it's up to us to accept this gift and i did, but have you? and stuff like that. nothing like what i wrote in my testamony.....and then, right after my 'testamony' or perhaps the more appropriate word 'raving', Andrew left his seat immediately (this is what vivian told me) and went around the building to (she thought) comfort me. only i didn't see him cos i was standing on the inside side of the doorway, and he was standing on the outside side of the doorway. i dunno, felt sorta bad about that.....
then this morning i received an email from andrew, and he wanted to ask me something, in person preferably. sounds a bit suspicious to me. like, what kind of questions does he want to ask that can't be asked over the phone or email or msn or sms? whoa, i'm not even going there. stay away from there, shirlaine, stay away.
oh, it could be like spiritual questions, right? cos they're pretty personal and some of them you wouldn't want to ask them over email or msn.....and there are heaps of other questions that you can't really ask over email and stuff....like, how did your grandma (or other rellies) die? only none of my rellies have died so far....ohhhhh.....i'm just going to ignore it.....
but anyways, focusing on the less nerve wrecking,
I AM A BAPTISED CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
